Schedule an appointment if your teeth are sensitive, or if you can’t shake that toothache that
is coming from your back molar.
Brushing twice and flossing once a day can
help prevent tooth decay, but not always. If you haven’t seen your dentist in some time, you need to schedule a check up as soon as you can.
Leaving tooth decay on its own could result in a dangerous abscess. If this occurs,
your Dentist in Corona may recommend a root canal.
Today’s tooth colored fillings are just as
strong as the old silver mercury amalgam fillings, in fact, the modern fillings
of today can actually strengthen your teeth. Thanks to modern dentistry
techniques the new materials, that your dentist uses not only restores
your teeth back to their original look and feel, but also makes you feel
better.
If you have quite a few old amalgam fillings,
you may be hiding tooth decay. Only your Dentist in Corona can detect cavities
under your existing fillings. If Dr. Rakesh Patel, Dr. Shital Patel or Dr.Scarlet Saini discover tooth decay under your old fillings they will need to be
replaced.
Of course, even if you have been given the
all clear when it comes to your old silver fillings, you may want to have them
replaced, especially if you do not like the way they look.
Composite restorations are used to replace
silver amalgam fillings and can be either ceramic or composite. Your Corona
Dentist will tell you that both types of restorations will make your teeth look
and feel as good as your natural teeth. You may also want to consider composite
restorations to fill a gap between your teeth or fix a chipped or cracked tooth.
